Hello Matthew,
I'm afraid I have some unhappy news.
Despite having had a pool of 13 players available at the beginning of the week for our match, a series of varying factors has seen this further diminish from 8 to 5 overnight.
All poss replacements have not been forthcoming & the usual areas we have tried have been fruitless. FYI It doesn’t help you but at the last count we have 38 players indicating unavailability. To my knowledge, this is the first time this has happened in our fixture & until this weekend we have nearly always been oversubscribed this saeson so I'm afraid I'm just left to conclude that it's one of those (unfortunate) things.
Once again, please accept our apologies & I do hope that you are able to get a replacement fixture through the CCC & that I do not anticipate sim problems for the return fixture.
Please reply so I know that you have received this.
regards
Pete
